Reigning champions Senegal have officially announced a comprehensive program that includes the unveiling of their final squad and a crucial pre-tournament friendly match.
The anticipation surrounding Senegal’s campaign is reaching fever pitch, and the technical management, operating with utmost secrecy, has meticulously crafted a schedule that aligns with their mission to defend the coveted title. A key element of this plan is the release of the final squad list, comprising 27 players carefully selected for their prowess on the field. Head coach Aliou Cissé is set to reveal this much-anticipated list to the public on December 29, 2023.
The countdown to departure for Ivory Coast, the host nation for CAN 2023, begins shortly after the squad revelation. Senegal is set to embark on their journey on January 9, 2024, marking the commencement of their mission to conquer African football once again.
